Texas might not seem like your typical hub for auto imports, but Car & Driver found thousands of cars make it to dealership floors via the Lone Star State.

According to Car & Driver, more than one million cars were imported into three Texas cities — Laredo, Eagle Pass and Houston — in 2012. Nearly all those cars came into Texas via ground transportation from Mexico.

To put that in perspective, 1,182,142 vehicles were imported into Detroit in 2012.

Laredo, which imported 606,966 vehicles, also was the second busiest port in the U.S., according to Car & Driver’s data. Eagle Pass brought in another 379,072 vehicles into the country.

Houston brought in a meager 87,698 vehicles via sea transportation.

According to Car & Driver, 20 percent of the 14.5 million new vehicles sold in 2012 were imported from a variety of countries, including Canada and Mexico. Once making it to the U.S., the vehicles go through processing, which includes adding floor mats and vehicle inspections.
